Follow me if you need a place, it won't go away if you want the space
Today was the seventh birthday of our beautiful cats Hestia Hermia Linsky-Noyes and Tybalt Autolycus Taaffe, in honor of which we served them a dinner of non-emergency kipper and praised them for all their fine catly qualities and the unstinting joy they have given us since their days of soot spritehood.
Today was also my mother's birthday observed, in honor of which my father made a triple-layer almond-flour cake wreck decorated with two colors of fondant and cocoa-dusted homemade marzipan to the tune of a Swiss cheese wheel inhabited by mice with ears of split almond. My niece gleefully hunted the latter and ate all their tails.
I feel a theme was successfully achieved.

They are not usually this representational! He had originally planned to make a cat-themed cake, then realized he couldn't cut up a cat and serve it, even if it was just an image on a cake. So instead he made something that he thought a cat would like. I think he succeeded. My mother was amazed.
Is the almond flour because of gluten intolerance? (I know you have many food restrictions; I forget if wheat flour is one)
No, I have a preference for nut-flour cakes because it's about the only form aside from butter in which I can digest nuts, but we just like almonds in this house. No one in my family has a gluten intolerance as far as I know.
I love your cats' full names.
They deserve them.

*melts* That alone is wonderful, and then the resulting cake is AMAZING.
Happy birthday to all!
